Environmental Studies Center annual night hike Nov. 15

STUART - The Environmental Studies Council invites the public to join them on a Night Hike on Friday, Nov. 15, at Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

The nighttime sensory journey features a walk into the past as participants explore the rich history of the Loxahatchee River at dark and learn about the creatures of the night.

The hike includes a live animal talk with the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, dissection of an owl pellet, exploration of the forest, and music around a campfire. Guests will also chew on mints that show bioluminescence in nature.

Adults and children ages 4 and up are welcome, and the cost is $10 per person. The $10 includes park entrance fees. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 772-334-4643. The hike begins at 5:00pm and concludes at 9:00pm.

Hot dogs and chips will be available for $1 and the night will conclude with S'mores around the campfire.
